Im using IC 4 and thought I clicked on the character in the preview window.
I realized I had clicked one of my custom content folders, which included
new characters I did in 3ds.

I didnt see the deleted folder in my recycle bin like other software does.

Where do the deleted files go?

usually if it is too big for the recycle bin it is deleted - get an app called Undelete and it might be able to resurrect your files - note you must not write/copy anything to your hard drive or the risk is you might overwrite some of the files you are trying to save

Hi setorc2, sorry to hear of your misdelete problem, but as akazrdude says all is not lost, you can still recover.

When you delete files from your hard drive, even if you empty your recyele bin, the files are still on your drive, but only hidden from us mere mortals, they are stored in sectors which are made available to be written over again, so as akazrdude says again, try not save anything to your hard disk till you run a file recovery program. I use File Recover, and it has always saved my bacon (so far).

So good luck, and I hope you manage to recover your folder.

I did a little test with an empty directory called "test" and directories are indeed deleted by iClone, not placed in the recycle bin.

Thanks guys. I did find my 3ds template and was able to recreate the characters.
It would be a good idea if Reallussion can get deleted files sent to the recycle bin

I agree.  Make it a request in the Wishful Features thread.

Fast forward to 2012 and this is still a problem in iClone5. Files deleted from the custom folder do not appear in the recycle bin!

I lost half a days work like this!
